Betrayal Session 16

[idolpro]

Who: You lot
When: To be inserted into the timeline after completion
What: Betrayal at the House on the Game Tower

[ The game starts with you in elevators, the doors jammed shut. You can keep an eye on the city further and further below you, but there's no introduction to today's game.

It's just as well. Those of you who recognize it need no introduction to it. Those of you who don't couldn't be prepared by any host's opening spiel, anyway.

The elevator stops atop the central tower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building and then lurches unpleasantly, wrenching itself out of where elevators ought to go. The sudden movement jolts you, and when the doors open you spill out into a room.

Hopefully, with not too much time missing. ]

UPPER LANDING

[idolpro]

[ You enter the Upper Landing. An opulent staircase from the lower level curves an elegant line to the landing, to down below. The dark mahogany of the flooring almost hides the rust blotches and trail, where it looks like something bloody was dragged unwilling up them, leaving desperate scratches in the wood.

There is an entrance in all four cardinal directions: the north, east, south, and west, as well as the option to take the stairs down a floor or up a floor.

The room itself offers no particular dangers or advantages. ]

[Now where?

[For a moment, Wednesday can't think where she's supposed to be going from here.]

Re: UPPER LANDING

[worthathousand]

[ Amaranth is quite a sight, shoving her way past the junk room door in an old-fashioned looking breastplate and pauldrons strapped over a torn and bloodied lace dress and comparatively clean-looking gauze wrap. But her eyes widen with innocent concern at Wednesday's arrival. ]

Wednesday? They brought you back here again.

[ hurrying to her side ]

Re: UPPER LANDING

[wonderlandgirl]

A-Amaranth-san...!

[The Wednesday-part of her is glad to see her.

[The Wednesday-part wants to tell her to run.

[She can't get the words out. She simply stands there, staring up at the woman. She looks so different from her: strong, competent, concerned. And here she is in A - in one of the owner's shirts, one sleeve already spattered with blood...

[Eve-kun said her hair needed a wash.]

Re: UPPER LANDING

[worthathousand]

[ She crouches a touch to get down to her height, searching her for signs of injury. ]

Are you hurt? I have some healing supplies, though I'm really no healer.

Re: UPPER LANDING

[gigadevilbreaker]

[...People. Last time, there weren't people here.

Griffin, looking more tired and remorseful than he'd been in... probably his entire life, stops to stare at the two. For once, not sure what to do.]

Re: UPPER LANDING

[purrrnicious]

[Lots of folks here lolol]

Awww, why so glum? Aren't you having fun~?

Re: UPPER LANDING

[worthathousand]

...Kohime.

I'm sure you understand that it takes a... very specific mental state to want to be here. So please don't joke.

Re: UPPER LANDING

[purrrnicious]

Hm~? Who's joking?

. . .Oooooooh, you don't belong to us yet? That kinda sucks. I can fix that for you, though.

[Swishing her tail and pulls a knife, she ain't even trying to hide that she's fucking nuts sorry friend.]

Re: UPPER LANDING

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Scoffs, starting to lean back on his cocky attitude now that there were people here.]

Yeah, loads.

[syckophant]

It's like a party! How exciting.

Shall we play a game...?

Re: UPPER LANDING

[worthathousand]

Griffin.

[ This time she doesn't hesitate, drawing the staff from one of her pockets and extending it, already putting herself between him and Wednesday. Also she's got armor now. ]

Is my commitment in question?

Re: UPPER LANDING

[gigadevilbreaker]

[If Amaranth was curious how he fared, taking on Maki from before, well. He has bloodstains pouring down from his throat. He stares at her, hesitatingly, as though he can't decide what to do.

But... as tired as he is, he would never have it in him to turn away from a fight.]

Always.

Re: UPPER LANDING

[composeur]

[ hey look who just miraculously arrived from the junk room (rolled might 3 for those who care) without a broken ankle for once?

he's. soaked in his own blood now, and also has a gun? he has a gun. leo tsukinaga has a gun. ]


---- Tsuba?

Re: UPPER LANDING

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Griffin's eyes go wide at the sound of that nickname. His voice is strangled when he speaks, just sad and confused and desperate. From last they saw each other, there's new blood on his throat from where it was cut.]

What...?

Re: UPPER LANDING

[purrrnicious]

Why can't we just start in the stupid arsenal? This is getting old!

[syckophant]

Hmmm, a very good question. But we start at the very same place every time~

Hahahahaha!!! Well, just means we've got an appetizer. Do you need my bottle, Kohime-chan?~ ♪

[purrrnicious]

Nah, I swiped a knife from Azzy's creepy bedroom one of the rounds before.

[syckophant]

[Hi everyone we are back and now we have axes. Anyone wanting to pass through the upper landing is going to have to pay the BARiTONES toll.]

Now... where did they go?

[purrrnicious]

[Flicking the edge of the axe, testing its sharpness.]

Who, Avante? Or the other two?

[syckophant]

Mmmhhh, that avante~ He's tantalized me, and now I can't get the thought of sinking my teeth into him out of my head... ♪

[He's practically drooling. What's the point of pretending, right?]

[composeur]

[ oh.



hey so, there's a revolver safety 'click'. though it's not pointed at anyone. it's just a soft noise. ]


...... speaking of vengeful spirits.

[syckophant]

[Eichi turns to look at the sound, the expressions on his face cycling through a few different emotions.]

Mmmhhh, Leo~ ♪

Didn't get enough of killing me before? I'm not going to let you do it again so easily.

[purrrnicious]

––Oh, it's you.

[She looks... oddly pleased to see him? Smiling and her tail is swishing and while she still has a grip on her axe, she doesn't look concerned to see him in the least.]

Hey, I figured it out. Or, like, I guess the song told me or whatever. You wanna take Eichi from me, right? You wanna take him and leave me alone but I'm not. Letting. That happen. But––but I figured it out! I'll just make you ours, too, and then we don't have to worry about it!

[And abruptly swinging the axe at him, Sanity = 4]
